at: John and Craig use kiln-dried Canadian maple for their cutting surfaces. Maple is particularly wonderful because it tends not to split. They began by acquiring their lumber from the sawmill down the road but, after some investigation, they found that they could use the end pieces of wood that were discarded by flooring companies. The sizes were perfect for laminating together into butcher blocks and oyster shucking boards. Now they don't let even a single shaving go to waste. They make small garlic boards from scraps and pasta knifes from the smallest pieces. The leftover shavings go to the dairy operations for cow bedding and the smallest bits of wood go to heat their greenhouses. |
